Look like Taylor Swift can't dodge a filmed deposition in her groping lawsuit.

For those who may not remember, the pop princess was sued for slander by David Mueller, who claims he was fired from his job after he was wrongfully accused of grabbing the superstar's butt at a meet-and-greet before a 2013 concert.

And while the legal proceedings are being kept quiet, it turns out that the gorgeous gal will have to submit a videotaped deposition… in front of her alleged groper!

Oof! Talk about awkward!

On Thursday, a judge shot down a request by Miz Swift's lawyers to prevent the depo from being filmed, and also blocked her legal team from keeping David from witnessing her testimony.

Luckily for Tay-Tay, the judge ordered that the video be kept under lock and key, saying:

"Only an original videotape will be made of Ms. Swift's deposition. The original videotape shall remain in the custody of Mr. Jesse Schaudies, Ms. Swift's business manager. Plaintiff's counsel must be provided reasonable access to the videotape."

So, the only way the footage would be released is if this case goes to trial. However, excerpts from T-Swizzle's answers could be transcribed in other court docs.

Zayn previewed the duet by posting a black and white pic of himself with Swifty on his Instagram -- but hey, she is bestiez with his girlfriend Gigi Hadid, so it wouldn't be unusual that they hang out... But collab?!
